What do you do, where do you want to live and how much do you need to make? I’m a career counselor/recruiter from way back.
Wafer fab process engineer.
ABC (Anywhere But California) I would favor Texas, prefer smaller city over megalopolis, like the climate and geography of Austin, Houston would be OK, I could live in Dallas/Ft Worth.
Enough to live on, depending on area. With my skills and experience I could reasonably expect anything from 60K to 125K. More is better, of course!
Wanna resume?
